Creativity, Standout Guests, & 5am starts – Larry interviewing Rob – EP097 Feb 24, 2019

Show notes

Hi all,
In this off-season bonus episode, I’m on the other side of the mic. I was delighted to be asked and really enjoyed sharing
With the podcasting adventure, I get to chat with so many very interesting people. On a rare occasion, the tables get turned and I'm on the other side of the mic (if that makes sense).
This happened last week when Larry G. Maguire was kind enough to invite me on to his live show to talk about creativity, along with a lot of other topics that came up (sleep, 5am starts, sub-personalities to mention just 3).
It's the longest and most in-depth interview I've done since starting out with the RoboftheGreen Project and it was great to reflect on it. If you're interested in hearing/watching it, you can check it out on Larry's YouTube site or his Patreon page. Larry is doing a lot of great work so go check out his content after too.
You can follow Larry on the links below too.
Thanks & hope you enjoy!

Joseph McGuire - Understanding Face Reading & How it can make you Better! - EP095 Jan 25, 2019

Show notes

Joseph McGuire – Understanding Face Reading & How it can make you Better – EP95
Joseph McGuire is a Face Reading Expert with over 30 year’s experience. Last year he released his first book, called Face Facts, which has been gaining great feedback over the last few months. I can agree that it’s a really concise and useful guide to understanding more about the face and the huge amount of information that one can gleam from it.
During this interview, Joseph talks about his own career, how he became an expert in this field, his fascination for the work, and so much more. I have summarised the conversation below and estimated times so you can review and check out the parts you’re keen on. I would recommend you listen to it all.
There is also a full video version on the site where you can see the face reading in action towards the end.
